Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello,

It is known that up to 50% of compressive neuropathies (i.e. disc degenerative disease pressing on nerves) will resolve within 3 years using conservative approaches to therapy such as medication, physical therapy, rehabilitation exercises, AQUATHERAPY with water jogging.

I believe there is an excellent chance that you can get quite a nice outcome after the next few months or perhaps a bit longer if you're already showing the above improvements.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
